Matthew Stafford is a much better comparison. How did he do as a fr?

Stafford looked the part even when he didn't....Eason doesn't. Eason did himself a grave disservice sticking to his commitment to UGA as laudable as remaining true to your word is in a young man. He, like most kids with his talent and skills, needed a 3 year stretch of serious work directed by people who know their shite. He is not going to get that with a new staff who is barely treading water getting to know their own job. This is no slam on anyone but Eason will not be as NFL ready in 2 more seasons as he would have been had Richt not left or been fired or whatever the frick happened. He could well end up being an exact copy of Jeff George....a very talented individual who is almost un-coachable because he wasn't exposed to it at a critical juncture in his development...

can you quantify this or give some kind of support other than simply what they "looked" like to you?

Do you know how many QBs there are in NCAA football that have performed at an extremely high level prior to their junior year? A frick ton.

you've lost it, I mean I question whether you're actually a UGA fan if you think eason is uncoachable. What in the absolute hell have you EVER seen, read, heard, or otherwise to indicate that he isn't coachable? You're simply making shite up at this point.

Eason seems to have a better head on his shoulders than George. Not much of a comparison there other than body type.

Richt was not in a strong OC situation if he would have stayed, so not sure it would have been significantly better.

Eason needs to work on his touch and seeing the field better. Those are coachable. He has the physical tools.

Blaine fricking Gabbert was a first round draft pick, and he didn't have nearly the talent or NFL readiness that Eason will.

Yeah, but Blaine Gabbert has a perfect name for the bad guy in a John Hughes high school movie.

3 years without good coaching at this stage in his development could easily render him uncoachable. Like a bird dog with a great pedigree who isn't trained at the right age will never be as good as they could be. Eason could easily languish at a school with no offensive line, no offensive identity and a coaching staff trying to learn on the job. I'm sorry that this pisses you off so badly but there us a good chance that Eason would have been better served going elsewhere......

Nope. Stafford was fatter and an INT machine, while Eason is skinnier and limits INT's better. Watching Eason improve over the course of the season proves your lack of coaching idea wrong.
